A dispatch from Baltimore, Md, May 10,
lays: A letter has been received by John f.
Doyle, sos South Broadway. Baltimore,
from Oliver Woolcott, first mate of the
schooner Parker NJ. Hooper, relative to the
loss of that vessel in March, during her
voyage from Havana TO Boston. The letter
charges that the captain of the schooner
wanted to lose her, so as to get the insur-
ance money. Woolcott states that the YES
sci lost rudder one day; that the captain
put a useless one in its place, and refused to
permit Woolcott to make one. The rudder
finally went adrift, AMI the captain said he
was going to leave the vessel.

THE LAND OF LITTLE rropLa

Far away, and yet so near US, lies land
where all havs been,
Played beside its sparkling waters, danced
along its meadows green,
Where tho busy world we dwell In and its
noises only seem
Like the echo of a tempest or the shadow Of
dream;
And 1t grows not old forever, sweet and
young it Is today
IT'S the Land OF Little People, where the hap
py children play,
And tho things they know and SEQ there are so
wonderful and grand,
Things that wiser folks and older cannot
Enow nor understands;
In the woods they meet tho fairies, find tho
giants in their caves.
See tho palaces of cloudland and the mermen
in tho waves,
Know what all the brides sing Of, hear the SO
crets of the fow'rs--
For tho Land of Little People is another
world than ours.
Once twas ours; It's ours no longer, for when
nursery time is DER
Through tho Land Of Little People we may
wander nevermoro,
But wo hear their merry voices and wo SEQ
them at their play,
And our own dark world grows brighter and
we seem as young ashley,
Roaming over shore and meadow, talking to
the birds and how'rs-
For the Land of Little People Is a fairer
world than ours.

AMERICAN SEAL FISHERIES,
British Made No Demand for the Release
Ofthe Seized Vessels.

ofthe Seized Vessels.
Inquiry at the department Of state regard
ing the British vessels seized in Behring sea
last summer discloses the fact that no demand
has ever been made by the British govern
ment for the release of the vessels, nor has
any claim for damages caused by the seiz.
ures been made upon the United States. The
correspondence between the governments on
the subject was very limited. 1t opened
with letter from the English government
asking for information relative to the de-
tails. The facts that the sealers had been
released was communicated to the British
government and that was about all there
was Of the correspondents. This govern
ment had resisted vigorously the claim Of
Russian jurisdiction over the sea of Ochatsk,
which at the time was almost surrounded by
Russian possessions and refused to acknowl-
edge Russia's claim to jurisdiction over Behr-
ing sea before the cession of Alaska. In
1870, however, Congress passed the laws for
the protection Of the fisheries of Behrinp
sea, and by its decision sustaining the seiz-
ures, the Alaskan court appears to have af-
firmed the jurisdiction thus asserted Mean
while before assuming final stand on the
question of Jurisdiction, the department Of
state is awaiting with interest the result Of
the suit for $50 500 brou hit in Massachusetts,
against Capt. Abbey of the Corwin by the
owners of the American schooner Sierra,
which was also seized last Summer in Alas
kan waters, distant 80 miles from the nearest
land.

Ubiquitous Insects.

Queerer still than the caterpilars
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake of protection are those truly di-
abolical and per6dious Brazilian spiders,
which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are brill
iantly colored with crimson and purple,
but double themselves up at the base of
leaf stalks, so as to resemble flower buds,
and thus deceive the insects upon which
they prey" There is something hideously
wicked and cruel in this lowest depth Of
initiative infamy. A flower bud is some
thing so innocent and childlike; and to
disguise oneself as such for purposes of
murder and rapine argues the final abyss
of arachnoid perfidy. An Indian mantis,
or preying insect, little less wicked,
though no less cruel, than the spiders,
deceives the flies which come to his arms
under the false pretense of being quiet
leaf, upon which they may light in safety
for rest and refreshment. Yet another
abandoned member of the same family,
relying boldly upon the resources of trop-
ical nature, gets itself up as complete
orchid, the head and fangs being mold
ed in the exact image of the beautiful
blossom, and the arms folding treacher-
ously around the unhappy insect which
ventures to seek for honey in its decep.
